A very pretty & cosy cottage in a lovely village full of character. On the whole was well equipped & well presented for guests. An upstairs shower as well would be a really useful addition & also an extra log supply. Unfortunately the weather wasnt great with the arrival of Storm Amy for 2 out of the 5 days we stayed but that couldnt be helped. SomRead moree nice dog walks from the village & The Village Bakery at Melmerby does a super cooked breakfast. Hide

Comfortable, with good sized rooms, in a quiet farming village. We were three generations and all enjoyed it, including the table football.

This is a charming home in a peaceful and pleasant setting. Fluffy towels, lots of hot water, a well appointed kitchen and lots of comfy seating in the sitting room. Thank you for a lovely stay. I recommend buying eggs from the neighbours!

We loved this property- cosy but enough room for a family of five not to be on top of each other. Excellent location to avoid crazy Lake District crowds whilst being close enough to drive there for walks and adventures. Lots of lovely cycling and walking from the door. Well equipped kitchen ( so many properties dont give adequate sharp knives/ utenRead moresils so we really appreciate it being done properly). An incredibly peaceful village in a beautiful part of the country. Hide
